A 300-year-old brass bell has been stolen from Groot Constantia, South Africa’s oldest wine-producing farm. The bell, from the Hoop op Constantia homestead, is about 30 to 35cm in height.

The estate described the bell as a ‘significant artefact’. If successfully sold as scrap, it could fetch the thieves about R4,000.
